Team Lead IT - Cloudstore

Within your #OneTeam

You’ll be at the helm of the Business Logic squad, the backbone that powers the CloudStore platform. Your team’s middleware – backend orchestration, consumption tracking, and user management – is the critical layer that every other CloudStore squad relies on. As we transition from proof-of-concept to production with our first enterprise customers, you’ll guarantee continuity, reliability, and billing-grade accuracy of consumption data, enabling CloudStore to become the sovereign service platform of OPCP.

Your main responsibilities :

• Roadmap delivery – Translate the product roadmap into concrete sprint goals, manage WIP and capacity, and keep progress visible for the whole squad.

• Technical leadership – Own the design and robustness of the middleware. Produce ADRs and Technical Specs, drive architectural decisions, and ensure implementation follows best practices.

• Team management – Lead, mentor, and grow a multicultural squad of 8 engineers (French & German). Foster a “one team” spirit and promote knowledge sharing across the acquisition-derived team.

• Quality & data accuracy – Deliver features on time, within budget, and with the security and auditability required for billing-grade consumption data.

• Cross-team coordination – Align with Platform, Packagers, Experience squads, OPCP Core, and Sovereign Delivery & Operations to guarantee seamless integration.

• Risk management & prioritisation – Identify, analyse, and communicate risks; propose mitigation options; balance planned and unplanned work to keep the roadmap on track.

Your future impact

In 6 months

• The squad will be fully operational under your guidance, delivering the first set of production-ready middleware components.

• Consumption data pipelines will achieve billing-grade accuracy and be auditable, satisfying early enterprise customers.

• A clear, visible workflow for WIP and capacity will be established, improving predictability across the team.

And in 1 year

• CloudStore’s middleware will be recognised as a stable, secure foundation for all downstream squads, supporting multiple enterprise onboardings.

• The squad will have matured into a high-performing, self-organising unit with a strong “one team” culture and low turnover.

• Continuous improvement loops (ADR reviews, security post-mortems, observability enhancements) will be embedded, keeping the platform resilient and compliant with OPCP security standards.

Skills required :

• Software architecture & system design (backend orchestration, event-driven processing)

• Python (object-oriented programming)

• PostgreSQL

• Kubernetes & CI/CD pipelines

• Software lifecycle management, including air-gapped environments

• Identity & access management in multi-tenant systems

• Observability (metrics, tracing, logging)

• IaaS fundamentals

• Agile delivery management (WIP, capacity, prioritisation)

Security expertise

• Secure-by-design development, threat modelling, OWASP Top 10

• OIDC/OAuth2, RBAC, least-privilege, tenant isolation

• Secrets & credential management, confidentiality, integrity, availability

• GDPR compliance, auditability of billing-relevant consumption data

• Supply-chain security (dependency scanning, SBOM, artifact integrity)

• Kubernetes security (network policies, workload isolation, secure configuration)

• Incident handling (audit logging, anomaly detection, escalation)

• Operational security (secure remote work, device & access protection)

That's a plus :

• Experience with sovereign cloud initiatives or regulated environments

• Prior leadership of multicultural, acquisition-integrated teams

• Hands-on experience with air-gapped CI/CD pipelines

• Familiarity with OPCP internal tooling or OVHcloud ecosystem

• Certifications in cloud security (e.g., CCSK, CISSP) or Kubernetes (CKA/CKS)
